Dedicated to... is the debut studio album by German pop singer Sasha, released by Warner Music on November 16, 1998 (see 1998 in music) in German-speaking Europe. A compiled edition, also including songs of follow-up album ...You (2000), was released under the same name on March 27, 2001 (see 2001 in music) in Canada and the United States.
A "blend of romantic ballads and quicker funk- and reggae-inspired tracks," according to Billboard, the album was initially released in fall 1998 and became a major success around Europe, selling more than 400,000 copies in Germany alone.[1] It reached the top ten of the albums charts in Austria, Germany, Norway, and Switzerland,[2] and was certified platinum and quintuple gold around Europe.[3]
The album produced four singles, including "If You Believe," which would become his highest-charting single to date and reached the top five in Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, receiving one platinum and four gold discs.[4] With lead single "I'm Sill Waitin'", "We Can Leave the World" and "I Feel Lonely" the album spawned two further top ten hits.[1]
